Tuscarora Almanac for May 12

1955 – from The Book of Last Runs

This is May 12, 1955, a Thursday and one of the very dark days in the history of the New York City Transit System.
It is the last day of service on the 3rd Avenue El between the 149th Street Station in The Bronx and the Chatham Square Terminal in Manhattan. The last train left from the Chatham Square Terminal at 6:00 PM. It consisted of six MUDC cars; 1662, 1778, 1753, 1780, 1668 and 1671.

2015 – from The Book of Wrecks

Amtrak’s Northeast Regional Train No. 188 derails at Frankford Junction. The engine and seven cars leave the tracks. Eight people are killed and two hundred injured. The engine, a brand new Cites Sprinter ACS-64 No. 601 was heavily damaged. The seven Amfleet coaches were 81528, 82776, 82644, 43346, 82761, 82797 and 82981.
